repots and 2 new plants

My boyfreind got me a neofinetia falcata, which I have been wanting, for mothersday/ 3 yr. aniversary. I also got a tall japanese pot for it but am a bit scared to repot because the roots are growing like crazy and It looks like there is more than 1 plant in the pot. Here is the picture


Leon at hoosier orchids also gave me free plant for mothers day. It is a Restrepia trichoglossa. I am very intrigued by it because I have never seen one before. He showed me one in bloom and they are very small beautiful lfowers. The roots are also very small. Her is the picture:
Here is what the flowers look like: Google Image Result for http://www.orchideen-lenhard.de/shop/images/big/rest.tric.jpg

Also on Saturday I repotted 4 plants. The Regal Bells x Brother Fortune's pot was way to large so here is the repot picture

The Brother Sarah Gold's pot was to large also here is the repot picture:


The Long Pride Snow Crane was potted in deteriorating long fibered chior which is probably what caused the rot. ( Luckily it was half off at lowes). Here is the repot picture:

The Magic Kiss was also having some issues when I bought it with root rot because of sphag on top of chior. The darn thing just would not dry out, even a little, after removing the sphag. And the rot on the leaf from rubbing up against the steak had to be cut out. But the repots will help with more drainage, air flow to roots and keep them from being overwatered. Here is the Magic Kiss repot picture:

All in all a very busy weekend but I am one very happy mother! Ok since I have added 4 more plants in the last three weeks I had to do some serious reaaranging due to the small amount of space I have. Any day now, well at least another month or two tops, and I'll be moving Yay! So I'll update my growing space on that thread too! Happy mothers Day every one!!!
